port 8: eden, new south wales

Eden, New South Wales... When we were usually docked in a city for a week, we were only in Eden for 2 days. When we usually did tours from 9 to 4 p.m, we did 1 day of tours from 12-8 p.m. When we usually had about 10 or more people on the PR team, we were down to 5 original PR team members (but its okay... just put a nice ywam shirt on the deck hand guys and engineers, and no one will ever know... wink wink) ... so as you can see- we were winding down and this our last port for the South Tour before our break....

It was an amazing ending in this lovely scenic small town of 3,500 or so. We had close to 200 people visit and hear about PNG in the first few hours. We had a tour almost every quarter of an hour and we had heaps and heaps of people come and donate spectacles & sunnies. i've said it before, but small towns are the best for this and we were once again, the 'big deal' of the day. theres a true genuine spirit that comes out of these communities ... and major potential for the youth that just want to do something big with their lives.

.. and that... was the LAST port of the south tour...
